Philips AVENT Range BPA-Free Front Teeth Teether, Animal - Babyphone Discounters

By 

Nicole Clayton –

  

My daughter started teething at about 3.5 months… She wouldn’t use any of the other plastic teethers we gave her – even if they were chilled, or frozen. She refused them. About a month later, I found this at BabiesRUs, and am eternally grateful. This is the one and only teether she used until those pesky teeth came in a few weeks ago (6 months).
It’s a softer plastic. I don’t know how to really describe it. Most teethers have this nasty plastic that’s thick and hard to even get the mouth around. This one is well shaped, easy to chew on, and has little bumps on it to massage the gums.
Best teether yet.

My wee one isn’t quite teething yet but she’s hit a stage where everything goes in the mouth and gets gummed on. Naturally this means we want toys around for her that she can grab onto, hold easily and that won’t hurt her gums or the teeth she will eventually get. This terrific teether meets those three needs nicely. The cute seahorse design is attractive but simple making it easy for my baby to grip and put in her mouth. Unfortunately, she doesn’t care for the texture of the teether! She doesn’t seem to mind it in her mouth but she doesn’t like the way it feels in her hand and when she’ll hold other toys she immediately lets go of this one. I’ve also found that because it’s a brushed rubbery surface cat hair, people hair and lint cling to it like crazy. It need much more frequent rinsing than other toys we’ve tried. As long as you and your baby don’t mind that factor I really do think this is a great product and look forward to seeing it in action when the teeth finally do decide to start cutting.

Now if only they’d make a couple more colors and designs…

UPDATE: Teething has finally begun in earnest! But I can now say (through shock and awe) that this teether is amazing! Once she got comfortable holding the unusual texture (as mentioned above) my little one began using this teether without much encouragement from me. It is now her favorite and I have to make sure it goes everywhere with us. At 5 months she has a canine coming in which is really giving her a hard time as a first tooth but this teether is definitely helping out with the discomfort. I’ll probably have to buy a second one to keep in the diaper bag in case we forget it on an outing.

Our daughter started teething about a month ago and we’ve been going through a LOT of different teethers. The Philips Avent animal teether is great! It is made of a soft “silicone” like plastic, well shaped for early teethers with little hands and a harder time hanging on to things. Our daughter is 4 months old and it is easy for her to hold and provides relief for teething pian. I love that it is BPA free and easy to clean. I have no idea what kind of animal this is supposed to be but of course our daughter does not seem to mind! UPDATE: At 9 months of age this is still one of my daughter’s favorite teethers.
